MariaDB Community Server 10.6 reaches end of life on July 6, 2026.
After that date, no more security patches for 10.6. On a shared hosting server, that's not one site exposed. It's every customer site that touches the database.
Upgrading to a newer release is the right long-term move, but a major database upgrade across a fleet is a real project: schema review, replication validation, application testing, downtime windows. Rushed migrations break customer sites and drive churn.
So we built another option. ELS for MariaDB keeps MariaDB 10.6 patched past end of life, delivered as drop-in updates through your package manager. No data migration, no schema changes, no forced upgrade. You stay secure now and upgrade on your own timeline.
In partnership with TuxCare. Covered for CloudLinux 7/8/9 and other EL 7/8/9 systems today.
